So for the FPS I get about 82 to 85 (around there, it varies). That's in the Classroom with the default angle when the game starts. And that's 1440p resolution though (native screen res).
I did try to limit the FPS to 60 with the NV Control Panel and at first it didn't seem to work, but it does work now. I changed some Vsync settings though since last time, maybe that helped. I'm using VSync on 'Fast' now (was set to Off in the panel before).
However, yes, regardless of frames limited or not the GPU runs pretty much at 100%. I've seen 95% at the lowest, sometimes varies between 95% to 97%, and slowly goes up over a few minutes. It's about 98% to 99% for some time (maybe like 10 mins). And eventually it will reach 100% and it will stay there for as long as I let the game run.
As of now at 100% the GPU temps are ok, well within an acceptable range. But during summer I'll keep an eye on it (not just with this game mind you, but every others I play).
Thanks 4 reply,
in my humble opinion (no expert for sure) something is not adding up...
and I'm talking specifically about the performance
I'd say it was a good suggestion to install afterburner and check the details, for you might have some settings to tweak or a bottleneck somewhere to solve.
I get 40 fps avg. at 1080p with 80% Gpu usage and fans at 65% with my proud but old GTX 1060.
it really doesn't mean anything (for example your card has built in Raytracing, mine does it via post processing) but for your worries I'd check the fans speed considering that the GPUs are built to work between 80c and 90c, than eventually search a solution.
also consider that some brands of the same card run much hotter than others (zotak was famous for that), the dispersion plate is more important than how many fans the card has.
I wouldn't worry as all the cards have a overheat safe, when you hear about fried Gpus is mostly because of extreme overclocking, just consider that cards like yours are used for BC mining and run at 100% 24/7 for ages without a problem
